About This Home

As of April 2025

Immerse yourself in this stunning Victoria Beach Oceanfront with views of the Pacific down the Northern Coastline to Palos Verdes. Enjoy the fresh ocean air as you watch the waves roll on the beach and flow against the rocks in Laguna’s picturesque coves. Built in 1924, this gem is just steps away from the iconic “Victoria Pirate's Tower” and a “Salt Water Pool”, renown Southern California landmarks. This charming 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home welcomes you with light and beauty.
The main house features an upgraded kitchen with stone countertops, a copper farmhouse sink, and custom cabinetry. The main floor features an ensuite bedroom and yoga/massage room with doors leading to laundry area. The primary suite occupies the entire lower level, complete with an ocean-view deck perfect for taking in the sunrise or sunset over the water. A separate apartment, included in the bedroom and bathroom count, offers its own private entrance, and is connected to the main house. It's a perfect retreat for guests, complete with a private balcony overlooking the ocean and a fully equipped kitchen and family room.
Fireplaces on each floor, primary bedroom, living room, and the apartment add cozy ambiance throughout the home. Enjoy dining “al fresco” on the oceanfront backyard patio, surrounded by one of the world’s most breathtaking settings. From the patio, you can gaze out at the mesmerizing sea and tide pools below.
A private enclosed staircase, an irreplaceable ocean front feature, leads directly to the sands of Victoria Beach. Revel in views of Catalina Island with sunset views all year long. This home offers not only a stunning oceanfront lifestyle with your own private outdoor spa but moments away, you'll find world-class restaurants, pristine beaches, and luxurious resorts including Montage Resort. Laguna Beach is also famous for its vibrant arts scene, with year-round festivals that celebrate creativity and culture, such as the Sawdust Art Festival and the Pageant of the Masters. Living here means embracing the best of coastal living while being surrounded by the rich heritage and artistic spirit that make Laguna Beach truly unique.
